ABSTRACT:
An electrical assembly (10) includes a female electrical terminal (12) having a first sleeve portion (13) provided with four longitudinally-extending inwardly-directed convex lobes (18), each of which has a substantial line contact along the length of a male pin (11) adapted to be slidably received within the first sleeve portion (13) of the female electrical terminal (12). The four lobes (18) are arranged in the pairs of lobes, including a first lobe pair (A) and a second lobe pair (B). The first lobe pair (A) is symmetrically disposed about a first longitudinal slot (16) in the first sleeve portion (13), and the second lobe pair (B) is substantially diametrically oppositely of the first lobe pair (A) and is substantially symmetrical about a diametrical axis (19) of the first sleeve portion (13) of the female electrical connector (12) which includes the first longitudinal slot (16) therein. The second sleeve (14) has an integral portion (20, 31) providing a stop for the pin (11). In one embodiment, the pin (11) is substantially-solid and provides a heat sink for the electrical assembly.
